Pay 44 billion for a brand, then change it. Pure genius.

Pay billions for a userbase, then drive away the ones that aren't Nazis or bots.

An X looks like a swastika if you only add half the seriffs

Been saying it for a while, but his plan was to run it into the ground all along. Who is he buddy-buddy with in public? The Saudi's and the Russians, who both have an interest in seeing Twitter burn to the ground. He started by laying off people, not paying their bills, and making stupid brand decisions. This has been the plan all along and there's really no other logical explanation. 44 billion is nothing to the Saudis and Russian oligarchs if it takes away a key tool for organized dissent and the spread of western ideals.

I guess, but I honestly thought he would be better at pretending to make good decisions.
